With the adoption of a male vocalist, Aurora have in the last few months transformed into a heavier beast while still maintaining a unique sound, that is as beautiful as it is crushing. And this heavier Aurora sound is evident in the debut album Faith/Breaker. Released on October 23, 2015, the now all-male crossover five-piece from the West Midlands are ready to unleash themselves on the world - again.

Bassist Josh Hammond said the band had been itching to get the album out on the airwaves and feels like the risk of swapping from a frontwoman to a frontman was the right choice for the Birmingham-based band.

He said: "Since swapping vocalists, it feels like new life has been breathed into us again, and we're very excited about what the future holds.

"Faith/Breaker, the first release with Rhys, is heavier compared to our previous material, but we aimed to set the bar higher for ourselves and I think we achieved that."
